WITH THE ALDERMEN
Liquor Licenses and Tax Ordi
nance Considered at Special
Session Yesterday.
WANT TO TREBLE ICE TAX.
Ordinance Adopted Closing Saloons at Mid-
Blfht Something Said About Re-
-:; - movint Saloon Screeas Aider
. v nea After Ice Manafsctarers.
The Board of Aldermen held: a de
cidedly interesting session yesterday
afternoon. It was a special session
called for the express - purpose of pass
ing 6n liquor licenses and to consider,
the racommegdatiott of the Bbard of
Audit and Finance relative to a recon
sideration - by the Aldermen of the
license tax ordinance.
The meeting was called to order
about 3:30 o'clock by Mayor Waddell
with Aldermen Bailey, West, Harriss,
VonGlahn, Mann, Maunder, Parker
and Johnson present.
After the Mayor had statedVbe two
fold object of the special session, - the
applications for liquor licenses were
taken up. All of the applications,
numbering sixty odd, were passed
without objection, .'except three, of
B. HL J. Ahrens, corner Seventh and
Market streets; J. K. Hinnant. No. 6
South Front street, and Westbrook &
Co.., just north of Fourth street bridge
on the eastern side of the stree't. The
applications of the first mentioned
two were for renewals of licenses.
Alderman Harriss thought it fair
that all objections be specifically
stated and suggested that upon each
objection a committee of three be ap
pointed to make due investigation and
report to the next meeting of the
Board; such a committee to consist of
three aldermen and two of the three
to be the aldermen from the ward in
which the applicant wished to do busi
ness. Alderman Maunder objected to a
license being granted Westbrook &
Co. on-account of the location. He
stated that a saloon had been located
once before where Westbrook & Co.
desired to carry on" business and that
it had been a public nuisance ; that at
times ladies couldn't sit upon the
piazzas of their residences, so great was
the disorder. He then ' presented
a petition of about twenty-five citi
zens living: in the vicinity of Fourth
street bridge sustaining his objection.
Alderman Harriss did not think the
locality should be considered, as
one persoki might run an order
ly saloon- while another might not
be able or have the inclination
to run such a place. He then placed
his former suggestion in the form of a
motion, which was carried, and Mayor
Waddell named Alderman West to
act with .Aldermen Maunder and
Spencer.
The objection to Mr. Hinnant's ap
plication was next taken up. It
was raised by Alderman Johnson,
who characterized Mr HinnanV place
on Font street, near Market, as dis
orderly and also stated that Mr. Hin
nant had been . convicted of selling
whiskey on Sunday.
Alderman Mann took exception to
Alderman Johnson's objection. ' He
said in his opinion that Mr. Hinnant
kept as orderly a saloon as any one.
He also said that Mr. Hinnant had
been convicted .of selling liquor on
8unday, but that it had only been on
a technicality and . that the circum
stances deserved commendation .rather
than condemnation as Mr. HinnaLt
had only sold whiskey to a man for
immediate medicinal purposes
Mayor Waddell verified Alderman
Mann's statement relative to the
evidence upon which-- Mr. Hinnant
was convicted.
Alderman Bailey spoke in favor of
granting a license.
Alderman Parker thought that AJ
derman Johnson's remarks relative to
Mr. Hinnant's keeping a disorderly
place was a reflection on tbe police
force Whose, duty it was to observe
order
Mayor Waddell assured the board
that tbe policemen would not have
permitted any disorder at a saloon.
Chief Furlong stated when ques
tioned in the matter, that Mr. Hin
nant's saloon was always kept orderly
and that people bad not entered the
place on Sunday since he had been
chief.
Alderman Harriss wanted his former
motion relative to an investigation
committer t o be appointed to pre vail,but
Alderman Parker saw no necessity I9t
such a fttp and amended the motion to
"grantiDg the license."
Alderman West seconded the-amend
nnent, which was carried.
The objection to Mr. Ahrens' obtain
ing a license was raised by Alderman
Harriss. He stated that at times he
considered Mr. Ahrens' place very dis
orderly, and that upon several occa:
sions he'had been compelled to tele
phone for the police to preserve jordet
among the negroes who nightly con
gregate Jit his place and drink and
carouse. -
Mr. Ahrens, who was present at the
meeting, stated that he always pre
served order at his place and called
upon Alderman-Johnson to substan
tiate bis statement. x
Alderman Johnson said he had al
ways thought Mr. Ahrens place thor
oughly orderly, but thought it best to
refer the application to an investiga
tion committee. ; .
Alderman Bailey favored granting
the license, and so amended the "in
vestigation committee" motion, which
had been made by Alderman Harriss.
The amendment failed to receive a
second and the motion was carried.
Mayor Waddell, appointed Alder
man Bailey as the committeeman to
act with Aldermen Harriss and John
ion. i y ' : : .- ; j . .
Alderman Parker said he didn'tVe
the necessity of such an ordinance and
together " with Alderman "Mann
opposed the adoption. . -
The ordinance, however, was adopt
ed, 'Aldermen West, VonGlahn,
Harriss, Johnson, Maunder anoT Bailey
voting aye.
Mayor Waddell informed the board
that there was an ordinance of long
standing prohibiting the use of screens
in saloons, and several of the Alder
men spoke in favor of enforcing it.
The following recommendation, the
result of. last Monday night's confer,
ence between the Board of Audit and
Finance and the Finance: Committee
of the Board of Aldermen was read by
the Mayor. I ;

Alderman Harriss next introduced
an ordinance to go in effect on and
after July 1st, requiring all saloons in
tbe citv to close at midnight and re
main until so 5 o'clock the next morn
ing, and making it compulsory for
keepers of saloons to see that all per
sons leave their places of . business at
the midnight hour.
"The Board of Audit and Finance
having been advised that the city
could not levy over one per cent, tax.
except by special authority, and the
only special authority being the act
authorizing bonds which gives
authority to levy a tax to poy
them, and the interest, we de
cided to confer with your committee
and met them last evening. After
discussing tbe matter" at length
we came to the following agreement
"Your committee agreed to recom
mend to the Board of Aldermen at a
special meeting to be called to morrow
afternoon, that they reconsider the
tax ordinance and pass it in the fol
lowing shane :
"For debts contracted prior to 1868
SO cents on the $100. For debts con
tracted since 1868 and general running
exnenses 1.32. For sinking fund 3c
On noils 3.96.
-'The tax'en liquor dealers to be in
creased to 25 ner month. The mem
bers of the Board of Audit and Finance
present agreed to concur in the above
and any other reasonable increase in
the license taxes adopted by the Board
of Aldermen."
Mayor Waddell stated that the
budget would run short this year
a"bout $8,000 or $10,000 and that in
order to adhere lo the different appro
priations, why, of course, the neces
sary amount naa to ne raiseu.
Alderman Harriss opposed raising
the fianor dealers' license tax from $22
tT$25 per month, and while speaking
on this question stated that he thought
the board should stand on its own doi
torn: that the Board of Audit and
Finance had been grinding and dictat
ing to them too much and that he
didn't for one propose to stand it.
Nearly all the aldermen were op
posed to increasing the tax under dis
cussion, ao, on motion ol Bdaerman
Harriss, that part of the recoxnmenda
timi was "tamed down."
Alderman Johnson thought that
there were other industries that could
bMr increased taxation better than
liquor dealers, and said he had pre
nnrftd such a list.
Alderman Harriss eagerly inquired
if thci "ifiBmin" was on the list.
Alderman Johnson replied in the
affirmative, and Alderman Harriss sat
Hnn natiafied. '
Alderman Johnson moved an in
crease of ice manufacturers' tax from
.75 ner annum to $125-
Alderman Harriss, backed up by the
nth? members, except Alderman
Maunder and Aldermen Bailey. who
had been excused,- wanted the increase

A lHnrman Maunder oooosed the in
crease and said he thought , they had
nfinirh of the ica Question.
Alderman west aryiy remarsea.
"vA8. hut not enough ice."
Alderman Johnson stuck out for Lis
suggestion and thought that $300 was
exorbitant
Alderman Harriss' motion was car
ried. Aldermen Wert VonGlahn,Parker
Harriss and .Mann voting aye,' and
Alderman Maunder and Johnson nay.
The nortion of the recommendation
relative to $L-65 property tax was
-adonted. v "
On motion of Alderman Harriss, the
increased ice manufacturers' tax was
reconsidered and left open 'until the
next meeting.' He stated that he did
not recede from his position, but owing
to the absence ol several : aiaermen,
etc. . thought it best to take such action.

mington won the third' game from
Tarboro to day in a game full of close
plays, mingled with costly errors, and
Allen and Ashenback were both hit
hard at times when hits meant runs.
Goldsboro, N. C , June 26. Wil
mington won to-day's game at Tar
boro in the one of the poorest played
games of the season. There- was a
continual kick from both sides at the
umpire, as there were decisions on
both sides that were too plain to be
missed by any one with average eyes
and ability. Ashenback was in the
box for tbe Tartars and Allen did the
slab work for Wilmington. Ashen
back was wild and was hit rather free
ly ; and but for the many errors be
hind him Allen would have had little
trouble in landing the game. Though
the game was poorly played, there was
a great deal of excitement among the
fans of Tarboro. as their team
gradually ; closed up the gap
in' the score. Twice during the
game, with a man on first and third,
Allen caught his man trying to go to
second, and both times the man scored
from third. With the score 9 to 7 in
our favor, in the ninth Tarboro scored
one on hits, leaving Gilligan on first
He attempted to steal and was thrown
out at second by Thackara. Foster,

Two Out of Three Is Good
Enongh. So Say We All.
Kelly is putting fire on the backs
of his Turtles, and they are crowding
right along.
The horse editor is delighted with
the' result at Tarboro. Two out of
three is good enough.
The Southerner of Tuesday gave
a long and very creditable story of
the game at Tarboro Monday.
Tarboro made twelveand Wil
mington thirteen hits yesterday. Too
much ton did all their "stick" work.
If yaa cannot meet the boys at
the train this morning give them a
rousing greeting at the Park this after
noon. Good morning, Mr. Btaley. Wil
mington has no storage batteries loaded
for you. Richmond has the monopoly
in that line.
The""Jampions are charged with
seven erWrs in yesterday's game.
Glad they didn't bring 'em along
"down home."
The tall and terrible twirler sur
named Yorhees will probably be the
centre-piece on the diamond for the
Giantto day.
The Hornets play at- home with
the Turtles the remainder of the week.
It is hoped they will do better than
they did at Raleigh.
The Star's special story of the
game yesterday was "caught on the
fly" at Goldsboro while our Giants
were on their home-ruin.
Though the hour is somewhat
inconvenient, th confirmed cranks
should meet the Giants at the A. C. 1Z
depot at 9.25 this morning.
No, the fellow who is .suffering
from an attack of paresis is not satis
fied. He thinks' the Champions ought
to have won at least three of the
three games.
Don't you know that 'old man
King Kelly is happy over the three
games won by his pet Turtles. Well,
three stiff "straights" will make mo&t
any fellow feel "happy."
The Observer seems inclined to
to name the Charlotte team the "Spin
ners." Well, they do seem just now
to be in a "weaving way." The horse
editor trusts, however, they will soon
be "out of the kinks." '

U. S. COURT AT AN END. '
Recess Term Cut Short Yesterday Decree
of Mortgage ForecloBore Agaiost
the Street Railway.
The recess term of the United States
District Court was brought to a sudden
close yesterday on account of the serN
ous illness of one of Judge Purnell's
daughters, which necessitated his pres
ence at his home in Raleigh. He left
the city yesterday afternoon.
The important matter before yester
day's session was the signing of a de
cree of mortgage foreclosure in the suit
brought by the Morton Trust Co., of
New Yorlcagainst the' Wilmington
Street Railway Company.
Argument was resumed in the case
when court re-assembled yesterday
morning at -9 o'clock, and speeches
were made by George Rountree, Esq.,
Junius Davis, Esq., and Hon. John D.
Bellamy.
Upon conclusion of the argument
Judge Purnell signed tbe decree, with
a few exceptions, as presented by
Messrs. Rountree and Carr, represent
ing the plaintiffs.
. Tho decree gives the railway compa
ny forty days to settle the $150,000
mortgage, which, if not paid at the
expiration of that time, is to be fore
closed, the property being advertised
for sixty days and then sold.
Mr. A. B. Skelding. the general
manager of the railway, was appoint
ed a receiver to take entire charge
and deposit all receipts if tbe railway
in the Atlantic National Bank, subject
to orders signed by the court.. Mr.
Skelding's receiver's office commenced
at noon yesterday.
The judge ordered stricken out the
order made at the last term of court
in the suit brought by O.L Parker
vs. the Clarendon Water Works Co.
The rule was for the company to
show cause ' why judgment should
not be entered up against them for
failure to file an answer to the com
plaint. The answer was filed two days
after the rule was made.
Iredell Meares, Esq., representing
Mr. Parker, opposed the order being
stricken out.
The suit brought by London Cotton
vs. the New York steamship Saginaw,
was left to a referee to take testimony,
the referee to be selected by mutual
agreement of counsel.
John H Gore, Jr., Esq., was intro
duced to the court and sworn in.

the meeting to order, and just as his
gavel fell for order, his voice and the
sound of the rap for order were drown
ed by applause and titters of laughter.
An apparition in white flannels had
appeared in the hall, and was leisure
ly strolling to a seat at the front. The
chairman gasped for breath, and tbe
Hon. George Rountree, in a brand
new suit of white flannels, with slip
pers to match, smiled benignly on the
assembled crowd.
"Gentlemen of the Bar Association,"
continued Mr. Manly, after recovering
from his surprise, "I would have
spoken sooner, but something white
"appeared." Laughter and applause.
In calling the meeting to order, Mr.
Manly in his speech spoke of the
Association as "an established institu
tion, destined in future days to carry
out its high functions." His speech
was well received, and in concluding
he introduced Robert Ruark, Esq., of
tbe Wilmington Bar, who delivered
the address of welcome onxbehalf of
the bar and citizens of Wilmington
and Wrightsville. Mr. Ruark spoke
for about fifteen minutes and his
address was a gem of its kind. We
regret that want of space will not per
mit us to publish in full his speech
and the reply of Senator Pritchard
which followed it.
The address delivered by Hon. Chas.
M. Stedman appears gn the third page
of the Star, He nlld his audience
spell bound for about three-quarters
of an hour and concluded amid pro
longed and deafening applause.
Senator Pritchard, In his address in
reply to the addressjef welcome, paid a
glowing tribute to the hospitality pf
the Cape . Pear section, and of Wil
mington in particular. He set out the
aims of the Bar Association, describing
it as an organization which has for its
object the advancement of the interests
of the legal profession, as well as the
enforcement of the laws, in such a
manner as to insure the en joyment of
the many blessings vouchsafed to us
by the Constitution of our State. "An
Impression," he continued, "has been
created in the minds of many that an
antagonism exists between citizens of
the State and the legal profession. A
more erroneous impression has never
found lodgment in the mind of man.
, It is as essential to the welfare of the
people that we should have an enlight
ened and honest legal profession as it
is that we should have good laws in
intelligently administered by an en
lightened and honest judiciary. It is
therefore the chief object of the Bar
Association to keep the legal profession
on a plane where its rule of ethics
will exclude the shyster and en
courage the- lawyer who sacredly
observes the oath which he took when
he assumed the important trust that
has been committed to him by the
le Court of our State. , No law
can bemcessiuny eniorcea wmcn
does not have the sanction of the
good citizens of the State, and above
all things we should remember that
no one will respect the settlement of
any litigated question when the ver
dict upon which it is based is the re
sult of unprofessional methods prac
tice by the lawyer who has entered
the profession with the 'commercial
.idea'- uppermost in his mind. If the
members of the bar ' maintain that
high standard whlchshould charac
terize "our profession in the trial of
causes, then indeed will we succeed
in popularizing the enforcement of
the laws. It is with these things in
View that we have formed an -organization
composed of the lawyers of the
State, and we are here for the purpose
of conferring with one another as to
the best methods to be adopted in or
der to attain the highest professional
standard." .

was quickly disposed of.. The Secre
